The best things to do on the Isle of Mull: A slow holiday on Mull

3 days ago | discoverbritain.com | Sally Coffey

We are all victims of a fast-paced world. Even when we get the chance to take a holiday, we’re so worried about missing things that we’re reluctant to drop the pace and continue to pack as many sights and activities into our days as possible. I’m one of the worst culprits – our family holidays often involve packing and unpacking the hire car at numerous stop-offs, with travel itineraries so complicated that no one else in my family stands a chance of remembering them.

The Atholl Highlanders, Europe’s only private regiment, may be best known for its association with Queen Victoria, who granted them Colours with the right to bear arms in 1845, but their story began way before the queen set eyes on them.

The 7 best places to visit in Dorset

1 month ago | discoverbritain.com | Sally Coffey

The Jurassic Coast is England’s only natural World Heritage Site, covering some 95 miles from Studland Bay in Dorset to Exmouth in east Devon. It is a real jewel in the South West’s crown, though it could be argued that all the best bits lie in Dorset. To start with, there’s the chalky white of Old Harry Rocks by Studland Bay – a trio of stacks that lie off the Isle of Purbeck that look as though they’ve been offered up by the sea as some kind of gift.
The 7 best things to do in Dumfries & Galloway in southwest Scotland

1 month ago | discoverbritain.com | Sally Coffey

Compared with other parts of the country, southwest Scotland is shamefully under-visited. While there are diehard Robert Burns fans who come to follow in the Bard’s footsteps, venturing across the county border from his birthplace of Alloway to his final resting place of Dumfries (and lots of other sites in between), for the most part it’s a region that’s overlooked by visitors who are drawn instead to the headline-grabbing attractions of the Highlands.

Pets are cherished family members, and yet, according to research from pet car safety specialist Tavo, many of us are poorly informed about how to keep them secure in a car. Tavo estimates that eight million dogs are being put at risk on the UK’s roads, with less than half of motorists who travel with dogs having researched the official pet safety guidelines in the Highway Code, and as many as 59 per cent of motorists admitting that they do not restrain their dog in their car.
The legend of King Arthur and Camelot

2 months ago | discoverbritain.com | Sally Coffey

The story of King Arthur is based partly on myth and partly on fact, and there are numerous contenders to the real figure. One view is that Arthur lived at the end of the 5th century and was a warrior, not a king; following the retreat of the Romans from Britain, he united the Celts against the Saxon invaders.
What is tartan noir? Murder most Scottish

It’s a wonder anyone wants to visit Scotland at all, what with all the dead bodies washing up on our shorelines, the dark and dingy alleyways where nefarious characters linger, and the small communities that harbour deep, dark secrets.
Fort William | DiscoverBritain.com

One side effect of my job is that I’m constantly being asked travel advice by friends and family looking to visit Scotland. While I’m happy to share tips, I find it nigh-on impossible to choose a favourite spot. That said, one place does stand out as the best place to base yourself in if you want to see Scotland’s bucket-list destinations: Fort William.
